Relocation Opportunity
Looking for a Wonderful Place to Live and Work?
In the tranquil and beautiful rural area of Dunkeld, only 60 miles from Edinburgh, Scotland’s vibrant capital, we understand that it can be daunting, making the leap to living in Scotland. However, there is affordable housing in the local area and a relocation package is available for the successful candidate(s).
The pretty village of Dunkeld sits on the banks of the River Tay. There are some wonderful walks in the area including along the banks of the Tay. The focal point of the village is the beautiful cathedral.
